1 This plugin allows content from other blogs to be aggregated into the wiki.
2 Aggregate a blog as follows:
4 \[[aggregate name="example blog" feedurl="http://example.com/index.rss" url="http://example.com/" updateinterval="15"]
6 That example aggregates posts from the expecified RSS feed, updating no
7 more frequently than once every 15 minutes, and puts a page per post under
8 the example/ directory in the wiki.
10 You can then use ikiwiki's [[blog]] support to create a blog of one or more
15 Make sure that you have the [[html]] plugin enabled, as the created pages are
16 in html format. The [[meta]] and [[tag]] plugins are also recommended.
18 You will need to run ikiwiki periodically from a cron job, passing it the
19 --aggregate parameter, to make it check for new posts. Here's an example
22 */15 * * * * ikiwiki --setup my.wiki --aggregate --refresh
26 Here are descriptions of all the supported parameters to the `aggregate`
29 * `name` - A name for the feed. Each feed must have a unique name.
31 * `url` - The url to the web page for the blog that's being aggregated.
33 * `dir` - The directory in the wiki where pages should be saved. Optional,
34 if not specified, the directory is based on the name of the feed.
35 * `feedurl` - The url to the feed. Optional, if it's not specified ikiwiki
36 will look for feeds on the `url`. RSS and atom feeds are supported.
37 * `updateinterval` - How often to check for new posts, in minutes. Default
39 * `expireage` - Expire old items from this blog if they are older than
40 a specified number of days. Default is to never expire on age.
41 * `expirecount` - Expire old items from this blog if there are more than
42 the specified number total. Oldest items will be expired first. Default
43 is to never expire on count.
44 * `tag` - A tag to tag each post from the blog with. A good tag to use is
45 the name of the blog. Can be repeated multiple times. The [[tag]] plugin
46 must be enabled for this to work.
48 Note that even if you are using subversion or another revision control
49 system, pages created by aggregation will *not* be checked into revision
52 This plugin is not enabled by default.
